Recycling said to be improving
Ricova and Société VIA held pressers this week to emphasize that their recycling methods are improving and they’re producing less contaminated paper, which should eventually pay off for the city.

That’s great to read. I hope the St-Michel facility is doing as well, so I’m not just wasting my time.

I know. I sometimes feel like I’m recycling as an offering to some deity that doesn’t exist.

Me, too. I keep going through the motions, but realizing it’s maybe not doing any good.

On the other hand, if you’re reading this blog post in the western part of the island, this is fantastic news and proof that even those plastic bags that you’re bundling up are getting recycled, it seems.

Here it is: Ricova claiming at its Saint-Michel recycling plant is doing better too:
“Ricova said its contamination rate is two per cent at its Saint-Michel recycling plant, down from 35 per cent when it took over the facility in August 2020. Ricova attributed its $6-million investment in modernizing the facility’s optical sorters.”
Of course, Ricova is dealing with a ban on bidding for new contracts due to past malfeasance. Not sure if we should believe them.
